  • Congrats to #14thFam member @thegloriayu for her new position working with Asia’s premier luxury fashion retailer @lanecrawford on their corporate social responsibility efforts and strategy. This reflects the 14th’s shared vision that creativity could be a force for social change — aside from creating spiritually stimulating work, we could also create impact by being conscious of the materials we use, the people we empower and the ways we can give back more to the world than we take. Proud of the vision and achievements of our Fam! #14thfactory

  • Gary Gunn @gunngary, who designed the soundscape for the whole installation environment and soundtrack for all video works, is the artist who is probably most involved in The 14th Factory next to Simon Birch. In 2016, Oprah selected him for her inaugural Super Soul 100 list, honoring “the world’s biggest trailblazers, innovators, and visionaries”. Recently, we get to ask Gunn a few questions… check out the full interview and soundtrack from the project via the link on profile!

  • 'I think I am a sponge for experiences, whether it is absorbing the latest Grime music, losing it in clubs with Skepta and Stormzy blaring out of speakers, or fighting through mud in a Spartan race in Taiwan. I am perhaps a conduit for those experiences, gestating and transforming them into paint, steel and wood and film.' - Simon Birch

  • 'Looks like a freak, always having a drama but man, if you want a guy that is capable, will go over and above, always get the job done, always show up on time and is the most fun ever.... Sawyer is your man. We LOVE this guy who has helped keep the show in one piece from opening to the end.' - Simon Birch, Artist and Founder.
-
Sawyer Bell @soymegaloco is our Assistant General Manager, who has helped General Manager Ben manage staff and is one of the most reliable staff of the team - the go-to guy for any task and 'fixer' to any emergency. He also helped bring together amazing talents such as @thebandiseasy and @blakeanderson for our Closing Party.

  • ‘The one person keeping the whole show together behind the scenes. Words cannot express how grateful I and the team are for @linlingtao and her management, direction and planning skills. One of the most capable people I've ever met and one of the warmest, most generous and genuine.’ - Simon Birch, Artist and Founder, The 14th Factory
-
Linling Tao is the Managing Director of the 14th Factory, who works closely with Simon and the other directors of the project to make the right business decisions to move the project forward. She met Simon when he arrived in New York 2 years ago, and joined the project at the beginning of last summer. What makes this project so special to her is the opportunity to work with creatives who are incredibly daring, talented, driven and generous. 
Linling hopes the 14th Factory's next location includes a matcha bar.

  • Stanley Wong (anothermountainman), whose photography is a key component of ‘The Inevitable’ installation and who designed the 14th Factory logo, is an award-winning curator, graphic designer, photographer and artist based in Hong Kong. His renowned redwhiteblue series, shown above and at the 51st Venice Biennale (2005) is an exploration of the changing material culture of Hong Kong. As a fundamentally Hong Kong artist, Wong often engages in social issues related to his hometown. Check our latest blog post on the link on our profile to take a look back at the artist’s vast body of work!

  • We are continuing a series that highlights some of our wonderful staff - because the project couldn't have existed without them. This is Brady Keehn, who you might have seen outside The Barmecide Feast. Outside of The 14th Factory, he is part of the band @sextileband, which plays what is self described as ‘primitive post punk from outer space’. When asked by publication @thelineofbestfit recently on what he would say to his fifteen year-old self, he says “don't worry, it gets worse before it gets better… It's a real upside down, shit, amazing, beautiful, confusing journey.” Check out more of the interview at http://bit.ly/2wYsgIX

  • We love a diverse range of colors, not only when it comes to flowers. 
We believe creativity at its best embraces the beauty in differences - in color, culture and background.
We believe the world at its best embraces it.
Check out pictures from our one-day pop-up floral gift shop experience - BLOOMED via the link on our profile, where flowers from @lily_kwong's 'avant garden' installation the night before were arranged and gifted to the community of Lincoln Heights and greater LA.
